This invention relates to a cleansing comdition, and Inks warm water of an amount position for metals, woodwork, and painted to form'a paste when mixed with some or all or enameled articles; The composition c nof said other mixed ingredients. j

sists of materials which may be: purchased at In testimony whereof I affix my signa- 55 low expense on the market, some of which are ture. Y waste products but'which, when combined, LOUIS GERGELEQ form an eflicient abrasive for removing oxides, V V from metal surfaces or deposits of dust or i The base of my composition consists of finely pulverized egg shell to which I add, in minor proportions, fullers earth and rotten stone and a very small proportion of an ammoniacal salt as sal ammoniac. Thesesev- I i 7' 65 eral ingredients are all finely pulverized and preferably are added inthe proportions of fourteen parts of eggshells, two parts of fullers earth, two parts of rotten stone, and

one-eighth part of sal ammoniac'. The in- .gredients are thoroughly mixedto a uniform' r mixture and may be stored by addition-of lukewarm water to a smooth paste or may be stored dry; When applied for use take two tablespoonfuls of the mixed powder and mix V V V v75 to one-quarter pint of lukewarm water there r from to form a paste and apply the mixture 7 I with a soft cloth accompaniedby light rub-f; bing to the surface to be cleaned I o i After the first application a soft dry cloth I is applied with alight rubbing to the surface v and the result will be a highpolishgon the cleansed surface. The fullersearth and rotten stone are very mild abrasives capableof giving a high polish and the pulverized egg shell has a more efficient abrasive value, but is so finely divided that no visiblescratches are left on the cleansed surface.
